Care and Cleaning

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, 

lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.

To remove the oven door:

1.

Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor (See 

Figure 9

).

2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges 

down from the oven frame completely toward the oven 
door (See 

Figure 10

). A tool such as a small flat-blade 

screwdriver may be required.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. 

Do not use the oven door handle (See 

Figure 11

).

4. Close the door to about 10 degrees from the door frame 

(

Figure 11

5. Lift the oven door hinge arms over the roller pins located on 

each side of the oven frame (See 

Figure 11

).

To Replace Oven Door:

1.

Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. 
Do not use the oven door handle (See 

Figure 11

).

2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal 

position (See 

Figure 11

), seat the hook of the hinge arm over 

the roller pins located on each side of the oven door frame 
(See

Figure 12

). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully 

seated onto the roller pins.

3. Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (See 

Figure 9

).

4. Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven 

frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the locked 
position (

Figure 10

).

5. Close the oven door.

Important: 

Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass 
that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven 
racks are fully in place. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or 
any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the 
glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of 
breakage at a later time.
